How do you measure productivity? Let’s start by talking about the engineering obsession with quantitative metrics. You can easily measure productivity on an assembly line. The faster a car comes off the line at a given quality level, the more productive you are.

Yes, culture fit is critical. I pit it equal to technical competence. For me it is an && not an ||statement
Should culture fit be a factor in hiring, or is tech skill sufficient?

To me, software development is first and foremost a social activity performed by humans, with all the baggage that comes with being human. Technical competence is nice, but it is not the core of who we are.
